Hi Sue,

I am delighted to say that one our CAMRA Berkshire South East Branch breweries, Elusive Brewing has been successful in the 2023 Champion Beer of Britain (CBoB) Regional Rounds. Their Level Up was a gold winner in the Red Ales, Brown Ales, Old Ales, and Strong Milds category of the London & South East Competition. The final blind taste judging took place at this year’s Ascot Beer Festival by a panel of trained tasters. This award “doubled up” as the Ascot Beer of the Festival for which owner Andy Parker was presented with his certificate by Mike Smith, our branch festival organiser.

Their Oregon Trail was also a winner, gaining the silver award in the IPAs (New World & British) category. The final blind taste judging took place at this year’s Worthing Beer Festival by a panel of trained tasters.

The CBoB certificates will be presented to Elusive Brewing on 20^th January 2024 at 13:15, time to coincide with the number 3 buses from Reading and Wokingham.

CAMRA members from all the London & South East branches are welcome to attend.

Kevin Lenton, Chair
